What does the atmosphere shield us from?
The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation, warming the surface through heat retention (greenhouse effect), and reducing temperature extremes between day and night.
Large concave mirrors are used in solar furnaces Give reason?
The shape of concave mirrors catches and directs the sun light inward which provides greater heat retention. This allows the heating system to achieve a higher temperature and be better suited to heat your entire home. A flat or convex mirror would reflect a lot of the light outward, thus making those shapes less efficient for gathering solar heat.
How does heat from the sun all day thousands of miles away heat your body?
well energy is stored in the heat from the sun and while the heat travels the energy is burned and the heat survives
What were the sources of heat for the protoplanet?
the sources of heat is the sun and the solar system this makes the earth have heat and energy. The sun is the earth main source of heat and energy
Do cardinals like heat or cold?
they like heat
Which rock retains heat best?
The denser the rock, the better the heat retention. Therefore a basalt would have better heat retention than a limestone, on a volume basis The best minerals for heat retention are a group of aluminosilicates called zeolites, and include minerals such as chabazite and analcime.
What is the retention of heat from the sunlight called?
It is called solar gain.
Who contributed to heat retention?

What is a warming of the planet due to carbon dioxide and heat retention?
Global warming.
What action does color have on your hair?
The retention of solar heat is just one effect...
Why is a desert cooler at night than moist places?
Moist = clouds = heat retention Desert = no clouds = heat loss = cooler
How you can increase the retention time in shell and tube heat exchanger?
the most effective way to do so is to reduce the flow of the heat exchanger
What is the Application of a science project about heat retention?
There is the insulation of many things. This ranges from houses to thermos.
What is a Serious condition in which the body temperature is greatly elevated because of retention of body heat?
hyperthermia
What is the medical condition prickly heat?
Also known as sweat retention syndrome or miliaria rubra, prickly heat is a common disorder of the sweat glands.
Can you get a heat rash on the front of your thighs?
It is possible to get a heat rash on the front of your thighs. This is more likely if you wear very heavy or coarse clothing that can contribute to heat retention and skin irritation.
